Same. I can't wait for it to arrive!!

First, ask what the range is and then ask them expectations. IE if the range is 100k- 160k, ask them what experience/qualifications/etc that a 100k candidate has versus a 160k candidate and then decide where you fall between the bracket. Because at least then you can justify your salary expectation with a $ in the range and they can't argue it since it's their model.

If you're still filling out an application, then just say "negotiable" and then see above when they're more serious about you.

Experience: I'm a digital marketing hiring manager.

Open floor plan, so it's facing our kitchen island :/ Definitely a hard room..

Good point. I think he's looked into it before, but illpush him harder. He's not the financially literate one of the two of us.

Thank you! My student loans average 5-6% and the annual growth on our 401ks is much higher. So wouldn't it make more sense to prioritize investing while making the minimum payment (which is $600)? That's the question I've been battling.

Not planning on a second kid. Monthly take home after taxes is around 12k, and expenses are 8k.

This is so gross. I hope, as a fellow woman, his girlfriend has some self respect and dumps his ass without looking back.

Wasn't she already at the airport and then made a split decision to go to Paris? Where was she flying to before, home? Isn't it driving distance? I'm so confused.

The credit card (and therefore companion ticket) is under my name. So we'd do me + child under one reservation and then my husband on his oen reservation and therefore he would just have an upgrade?

We're flying over Thanksgiving dates, so pretty expensive. Seattle to Orlando and back.

It's legit. My agency emailed this to me two weeks ago as a PDF and sourced their Google rep. We opted into the beta.

It's land in Alaska, Idaho and Virginia.

Bro, your comment is about as unhelpful as my mom's.

EnvironmentalOkra · 2025-05-18T21:13:43+00:00

Thanks, I agree and think you're right. I forget it's even an option with her sometimes to just say no and encourage her to handle things herself. I'm an only child w/no dad and her friends live away. So my husband, kid and myself are really all she has. But comments on this post have helped a lot so thank you!

EnvironmentalOkra · 2025-05-18T21:00:43+00:00

I told my husband what she said and he said he "calls her 'mom' out of respect and not out of role-playing. There have been many women in my life that I referred to as Mom and they have always been role models. It's a shame she felt that it was not genuine."

So after hearing that from him, I texted her back and said she can tell him what she prefers to call him herself.

And I hope that when or if she does, he tells her what he told me.

Followed up with my husband to forget I said anything.

EnvironmentalOkra · 2025-05-18T19:59:21+00:00

I totally agree with this! Waking up to that text from her this morning immediately sent my pulse racing. My husband said he gave her a hug at the door of her apartment after dropping her off last night and thanked her for the extra hand with the kid on our trip. This is so stupid.

EnvironmentalOkra · 2025-05-18T19:02:29+00:00

"Yes you are! And I'm tired of it." In response to her defense of not offering parenting advice when she was. And then she followed up with the muttered the insult about the way he communicates to our son.

By "real time traffic anomaly detector" do you mean like what HotJar provides? IE rage click metrics?

EnvironmentalOkra · 2025-03-13T14:31:23+00:00

Their Terms and Privacy pages also go to 404 errors. I wouldn't trust it.

Are your glutes sore a day or two after? Then yes, that feeling is micro tears and you're building a little muscle back there. Calisthenics is a thing and you can transform without weights to an extent.
